Meaning & Analysis

Roy Lichtenstein’s Brushstrokes belongs to the artist’s iconic exploration of the brushstroke motif, which comprises several unique editions and portfolios. Brushstrokes was executed in 1967 and is characterised by the artist’s vibrant pop style. With this clever and simplistically elegant artwork, the artist sets out to undermine long-standing art historical legacies and practices.

As opposed to the enlarged imitation of a single brushstroke featured in Brushstrokefrom a few years prior, purified strokes erupt all over this print. Brushstrokes crops closely on fresh crimson, stark white, and bright yellow cartoon sweeps. The splatters situated around the edges of the composition anchor the primary forms of the canvas firmly in place. Lichtenstein’s defined black contours mimic the feathery finish of a paintbrush, adding volume and dimension to the image.

The bold primary colours are depicted as frozen drips fixed against the surface of a static white and blue dotted background. The artist utilises his trademark dots to playfully counteract the flow and energy of his polished brushstrokes. This repetitive pattern also provides a sharp mechanical contrast to the emotivity of painterly expression. Brushstrokes proves to be the quintessential embodiment of not only Lichtenstein’s oeuvre but of Pop Art itself.

Roy Lichtenstein, born in New York, 1923, is a seminal figure in the Pop Art movement, renowned for his comic book and advertisement-inspired artworks. His transformative journey from classical painter to Pop Art pioneer began with his iconic piece, Look Mickey, marking the fusion of painting with pop culture. Lichtenstein’s works, including Whaam!, Drowning Girl, and Crying Girl, blend parody and satire, challenging the boundaries between popular culture and ‘high art’. With over 5,000 pieces to his name, Lichtenstein’s enduring influence resonates in contemporary art, his works celebrated in prestigious institutions worldwide.
